The present invention limits measurement error and sensor element damage. When a contact-type sensor (200) is placed in close contact with skin (10), a gap (200a) is formed between the skin (10) and a sensor element (214). The contact-type sensor (200) is provided with a water-repellent resin base plate (212) and a water-absorbing sheet (211) that, together with the skin (10) and the sensor element (214), surround the gap (200a).本發明抑制測定誤差及感測器元件的破損。接觸式感測器(200)在接觸至皮膚(10)時,在皮膚(10)與感測器元件(214)之間形成間隙(200a)。接觸式感測器(200)具備與皮膚(10)及感測器元件(214)一同包圍間隙(200a)的斥水性樹脂基板(212)與吸水性片材(211)。
